Hero Sports: “ Athletic departments, FBS or FCS, that opt into the settlement will have a football roster limit of 105 players. With no scholarship limits, an FBS team could offer 105 scholarships if a conference doesn’t set a cap. Or, theoretically, an FBS school could have 95 players on scholarship and 10 walk-ons if they couldn’t fund all 105.”
NCSA:
